Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 128
Northeast corner courtyard.

Ping'er, who was standing outside the house, heard shouting and cursing from inside.

"What a slave you are...how dare you do this to my aunt!"

"Sister-in-law, has the person who went south to buy rubber been sent out?"

When these words came out, the movement in the room suddenly became much quieter.

"Okay! Okay! Have you been waiting to introduce this rubber business for a long time so that you can take advantage of me?"

"How could it be! Sister-in-law, if you didn't make such a big fuss, how could I threaten you? You scratched me several times last time. This was just a precautionary measure. Moreover, it was retaliation. When my sister-in-law tied me up, did you think that today would happen?"

"Bah! I knew you had no good intentions, but Ping'er still didn't speak for you!" He shouted out, "Ping'er! Ping'er!"

Ping'er whispered through the door: "Grandma, just calm down! If you really call someone here!"

"What are you afraid of! This just confirms his crime!"

"Dog slave...How dare you! Woo...ow! ~Ugh!~"

The house finally calmed down, and Ping'er hurriedly ran to the courtyard wall to squat.

…………

About two-quarters of an hour later, Lai Shangrong came out of the house. Ping'er knew that this was Sister Feng's limit.

Lai Shangrong touched his nose and said with a guilty look on his face: "She is losing her temper right now, so I'll go back first."

Ping'er glanced at him resentfully and said resentfully: "Grandma, why did you ever go through this? Uncle, you didn't even say hello in advance!"

Lai Shangrong knew that he was in the wrong, so he smiled and left angrily.

Ping'er trotted to the courtyard and pushed the door open and entered the house.

He went to the corner and picked up a food box, took out a towel from it, and while wiping it for Sister Feng, he said carefully: "Grandma! This is on you..."

"Bah! Stop pretending to be kind to me." Sister Feng spat: "Tell me! Did you guys agree to do something different and deliberately try to mess with me?"

"How could it be? I didn't know that the master would be like this!"

"You don't know? Then why didn't he tie you up?"

Ping'er slandered in his heart, then you should ask the uncle to come back!

He said in his mouth: "Master, I just let out the anger of being tied up by you last time, and I won't do it next time!"

"What about the next time? Go and tell him that if you want to have sex with your aunt again, you can't!"

"Grandma, are you still discussing the rubber business with me?"

"Hmph! Go talk to him next time!"

This sentence undoubtedly revealed the truth, Ping'er covered his mouth and snickered.

"Grandma, don't regret it!"

Wang Xifeng's mouth is also stubborn, although she keeps yelling, her body is very honest.

Although he cursed Lai Shangrong before leaving, he also threatened him with a stern expression. If anything happened to the rubber business, he would tell him to look good.

Sister Feng said inconsolably: "You heartless little prodigal hoof, what's so good about him that he's so determined!"

Ping'er was not afraid of her and said with a smile: "Grandma has even tasted that live treasure. Don't you know what's good about it? Besides, although the uncle has many tricks, he is never stingy. Grandma is worried. He Didn't you also advance 1 taels of silver?"

Ping'er's words are correct. Although Lai Shangrong has many tricks, he is not stingy with his moves, but is very generous.

She originally saw Lai Shangrong humiliating her, but she only thought that he deliberately deceived her with the non-existent rubber business, so as to take the opportunity to retaliate.

Unexpectedly, Lai Shangrong probably noticed her doubts and later lost 1 taels of silver notes, saying that he wanted to increase his share of the stock.

Since she had given up her life, of course she didn't want to lose her money anymore.

Besides, that living baby...

However, Sister Feng was always unforgiving and spat at Ping'er fiercely: "Bah! You little prodigal, how dare you make fun of me, let's see how I deal with you when I get back!"

Then he remembered Lai Shangrong's advice and said to Ping'er: "We'll call Brother Rong here tomorrow, but we can't let go of the money!" Ping'er said blankly: "Ah! Why did grandma..."

Sister Feng said angrily: "What are you pretending to be? Didn't you tell him about the usury?"

"how come!"

"Okay! Okay! I'm just asking casually. I guess he has been staring at me for a long time, and even falsely accused me of taking some lawsuit. It's a good thing..."

He stopped abruptly at this point, and at the same time he was secretly glad.

Fortunately, Lai Shangrong had a plan for him, otherwise he would not have given him a reason to bring up the usury issue to Jia Lian.

It was for this reason that she made up her mind to get out in time before Jia Rong told Jia Lian.

Although she has no friendship with Jia Lian, she has always held grudges and is willing to help Jia Lian and Qiu Tong.

"Grandma! Is this what you have?"

"Hmph! He still has some conscience!"

…………

Lai Shangrong, who still had some conscience, looked like a villain who had succeeded, and walked home humming a ditty at a slow pace.

Needless to say, the sense of accomplishment of the Diao Nu Cavalry Master was avenged.

He was also proud of his own methods. Recalling Wang Xifeng's expression when he took the money, he was filled with pride.

The silver was not his, but was sent by the emperor to Uncle Tian Guo after a secret report.

Apart from anything else, if he plays with the emperor's money like this, he can be regarded as No. 1 in the Great Xia Dynasty, right?
Of course, in addition to being proud of one's own skills, one also feels gratified that one has succeeded in learning binding techniques.

I've only practiced on Li Wan three or five times, and he has covered everything without any confusion, so he has a good comprehension ability!

"What do you think?"

Just when I was thinking about whether there was something or not, I was startled by the sudden sound.

"Dad! What are you doing standing at the door?"

Lai Da said angrily: "Of course I'm waiting for you! We've all quit our citizenship, why are you still going to work as a servant for his family? If you really have that time, you might as well help develop cement!"

Lai Shangrong couldn't help but curse in his heart, your son is here to show off his power.

He said: "What else is there to develop for cement? You follow the recipe and mix the ingredients, and you can burn it!"

"Hey! What you said is easy. When did our family bake these? Do you think your father knows everything?"

Lai Shangrong was at a loss for words. He touched his head and said, "Uh!... It's because my son was negligent. Has the stove been built yet?"

General Lai spread his hands and said: "The stove has been built and the raw materials have been mixed. What do you think we should do next? Or you can ask Xiu Mu to follow me outside the city tomorrow."

Lai Shangrong shrank his head. Xiu Mu had already used it to provide warmth to the fish pond last time. He could wait until next month.

Moreover, he only knew the ingredients and firing, but did not know how to control the furnace temperature and specific operations.

Fortunately, the temperature for firing cement is about the same as that of glass. Lai Shangrong thought for a while and said, "That's it! Things are now normal at the glass research and development workshop. I'll go there tomorrow to find some experienced people to help you take a look!"

In this era, there is no problem in using public tools for private use. Shan Ziye, who designed the Grand View Garden, was a master craftsman from the Ministry of Industry.

As the saying goes, public is worse than private, and private is worse than confidentiality. When a boss asks his subordinates to do private work, it is a sign of trust.

I made an agreement with Lai Da to meet up at the glass research and development factory outside the city tomorrow, and then came to the back garden.

I saw a dark shadow coming out of the darkness, and said, "Brother-in-law!"

Lai Shangrong was startled, and then ran and shouted: "Didn't you tell your sister? If there is anything missing, just tell her!"

While running, she muttered to herself, don't let her rely on these little hooves.

Recently, Sanjie You has always been flirting in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, and he is afraid that he will be coerced by her if he loses control.

After all, there is already a strong Sister Feng outside, so it is better for the family to be more stable.
